...and now it's fully formed on you? As @Clintosaurus said (I paraphrase), COLLINGWOOD

...and JT 'nearly' got him to * cough * Collingwood!

4.4. Rats!

Paxy and Lize Mac do a rock-paper-scissors coming out of the huddle at the start. Selecting wings?

Team. (I can't do the individual stuff 😄)

Back line strong, tight, intent, fast.

Hore vision and kick sublime up close.

We've dodged a few bullets.

TH 3 Nearly 3 quarters for 5 more and the record? (Mozz, get thee hence!)

It's picked up v. slightly, and yes we do.

A 'zephyr' here at the moment. A southerly change may hit later?

I hear it now bypasses GOOnDiWINdi. Something about a new direction...

This one? I hope so.

Oh, I'm inclined to think MFCSS is very soundly based! 😄

It's fascinating how many different opportunities the AFL has to feed our MFCSS.

As many on here would have been, I was at the St Kilda, West Coast and Hawthorn games, which provided a 'nice' sample on the subject of 'losing it ourselves' (even v. WC, with its in-game moments of 'Uh-oh!'). This probably won't sit well with the many on here who'll be continuing to expect, and live on the expectation of, annual deep finals action: I've just realised that 2021 to 2025 has made me one of those, and I've lost a lot of the pleasure of following our team in a game-to-game - even a passage-to-passage and play-to-play - let-the-results-take-care-of-themselves way. So, with all the newnesses of 2026, probably bringing with them initially tempered expectations from us and the footy world generally, I'm going to look forward to a bit of a period of that (hopefully brief!) p.s. Sorry about the 14 hyphens, but what else would you expect from me?!

Perhaps live links embedded in the thread to Jeff's x, instagram, tiktok, facebook, whatever? Should more than satisfy the need 😉

Clearly, yes, from the 3AW interview, in everything but name - e.g. was an equal partner in the Goodwin decision with his acting counterpart.

Six to eight coaching candidates will be assessed (implicitly, but not explicitly, by the panel). One or two recommendations will be taken to the board. Before preliminary final weekend.

As a polite Yankee might say to you, RtG, 'Shoot!'

You would hope that every player not let go by the Club would have the very human reaction of wanting to stay and make amends for 2025 - indeed, to prove 2025 was not who they are - not scamper off to (uncertain!) sanctuary elsewhere. Do it, boys.

Finally a Club announcement/thanks, and from it: "Williams will continue in his role until the conclusion of the Casey Demons’ VFL Finals campaign." Hardly 'AXED'! 🤨

From Whitford's player review post-Boxhawks: Ricky Mentha (11 disposals, 4 tackles, 1 goal) "Ricky started the game as good as anyone, probably the best player on the ground in the first 15 minutes. He’s showing these game-breaking moments; we are now looking to grow the brilliant patches into more consistent four-quarter performances."
